Three-Part Structure Of The Lord's Prayer
- The Lord's Prayer has a clear three-part structure: invocation, petitions, and doxology.
- Charles Stanley emphasizes understanding its meaning rather than mindless repetition.
Pray The Prayer Only If You Acknowledge Christ
- Do not pray the Lord's Prayer as commitment unless you have accepted Christ as Savior.
- Praying "Our Father" and "Thy kingdom come" requires living under Christ's lordship.
Kingdom Means God's Rule In Your Heart
- "Thy kingdom come" means choosing God's rule, not a geographic kingdom.
- Stanley links basilea to God's rule and personal submission to Christ's lordship.
